45 albums selected and in the end a dozen distinguished books … The Angoulême international comics festival awarded its prizes on Friday January 29 for a very special 2021 edition. Covid obliges, the city of southwestern France has given up welcoming tens of thousands of 9th art enthusiasts as it does every year. The public and the authors have an appointment in June, if the days look better.

First attempt, master stroke: it is a first graphic novel which wins the Fauve d’or for best album. In The hunting accident, the American David L. Carlson tells the true story of a blind gangster in Chicago in the 1940s. Magnified by the black and white experiments of Landis Blair, this tale is an ode to literature and also a tour de force, in that it manages to represent the perception of a blind person.

The very young thirty-something Maurane Mazars wins the Revelation Prize, with her second album, dance, resulting from his graduation project. We follow a young German dancer at the end of the 1950s who sets out to storm Broadway.

The public awards its Fauve to the beautiful graphic novel by Léonie Bischoff, Anaïs Nin on the sea of ​​lies. There too it is a daring and successful project of biography of an author and muse, seized in the early 1930s.

And then one of the most awarded comics of 2020 leaves with the Fauve des lycéens. It is Man skin, a fable about transidentity, set in Renaissance Italy.
